Department of the Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke told an American Indian activist to “be nice” after she badgered him about not meeting enough with tribal leaders about the Bears Ears National Monument.

And here was the snowflake’s reaction to a potential ‘violent attack.’

She looks thoroughly petrified, does she not?

Zinke was visiting Bears Ears National Monument as part of an ordered review of national monuments by President Trump. Former president Obama declared Bears Ears a 1.35 million-acre monument, something a Utah delegation of representatives declared jointly, an “unprecedented land grab.”

“I was scared, and my heart was racing,” Begay recalled. “It felt condescending and unnecessarily aggressive. I have no idea why asking a simple question to somebody who is on a listening tour would react so aggressively.”

“It felt like he was about to snap!” she added.

Environmental activists apparently have a very different definition of ‘aggressive,’ ‘violent,’ and ‘about to snap’ than the average … bear.
